Now that made me smile. It takes a different kind of person to own an old Holden. Many people would baulk at a 900km drive. Then there are those comfortable enough to take a 75 year old vehicle, black with 4-and-80 air, some form of engine complaint (and no cupholders :mrgreen: ) and make the ...

Hopefully the fronts are grabby and not the rears.

Could be the difference in bore size. HR front drum slaves are 1.06" bore. FB/EK are 1.1875".

HSD, SPS and Galloway... now that sounds familiar :). Takes a while to get stuff through that trio, though from what I have seen their work is spot-on.

Being realistic, I reckon I've got mebbe a 10% chance of making DotD. The lineup of busted kids cars in my driveway isn't getting any shorter. It ...

Finally got round to balancing the slicks… kind of...

They mounted the second wheel, and spun it up... The machine was asking for 800g of weight...

... will check with M/T to see if they will warranty.


Patience is a virtue.

One tyre balanced OK, one tyre wants 800g of weight. M/T warrantied ...
